Creating flames from the tail pipe

[MNBen]

20 years ago I say a hot rod crusin through the city. He pulled just ahead of me and revved his engine in nutrual. Flames shot from his tailpipes. I am thinking he has a spark plug or similar item located at the rear of his exhaust and he could activate it in the cabin and then step on the gas to make flames.

I want to do this to my '05 Mustang but I'm not sure how to go about it. I really do not think there is enough igniteable fumes left in the tailpipe.

Any ideas on how to go about this?

I found something at axdo.net. It should be a good start.

Flame thrower kit. Google it. And yes it involves putting a spark in your tailpipes some how.

And dumping raw fuel into your exhaust. I wouldn't do it.

Some guy that rolls up at local cruise-in's here has a system where propane is injected into the tailpipes and ignited by a spark plug.

yup heard of that too. its all too risky in my opinion. i remember on that show pimp my ride they installed one on a car and it shot out to far and i think it caught the bumper a bit. i wouldnt do it itd definately mess your paint up. back in the day when bumpers were unpainted metal it probably wasnt as bad

Yeah, this guy isn't shy about telling everyone how many fires he's caused.

I'm guessing you'll be at the premier of Bellflower?

I've got a 2 step on my car for when I go to the track, every now and then mine will shoot flames when I'm hitting the 2 step limiter. a lot safer than the flamethrower kit too id imagine

Not safe on modern cars but basically you have spark plugs in the tailpipe wired to a coil and a switch. When you interrupt the stock ignition and mash the gas, you flood the exhaust with fuel, flip the coil to the plugs in the exhaust, and it ignites. The problem is it can blow your mufflers apart, kill your convertors, and you are washing your cylinders with fuel contaminating the oil and wearing your rings, cylinders, etc...

2-step is fine as it's functional, and the flame is a byproduct of a performance modification.

Rigging up a flame thrower with a fuel line and spark plug is not recommended.
